My friends are playing tonite at Jovita's

in Austin at 10:30. Go see them. Buy beer. Hang out.

It's a rhythm and blues band, Slaughter Creek Blues.

sometimes they sort of sound like ZZ Top.

Are there gonna be tacos there?

If I were in Austin I'd go. But I'm not.

I live on what they call the "Mexican Mile". I am surrounded by tacos.

Sounds like Heaven.

Have fun, dude!

What a weird gig. Only 3 people showed up to see the band (besides the people from the earlier bands, employees and me). Band played a great hour-plus set, and I got a nice recording, so that was a good perk. But then, the band got paid more than we usually ever do, and we got invited to return for more gigs in the future.

That's kinda awesome and illogical.

Your brief stint as a Vulcan is really paying off.

It's the chin rubs that make it work.

Years and years of practice paid off.
